How to make Boondi Laddu

BOODI

Whisk baking powder, besan, and milk into a large bowl until you get a lump-free batter.

Note: the batter should have a dripping consistency.

Heat oil in pan until it turns hot enough for deep-frying

Note: Check if the oil is heated sufficiently by dropping a little besan batter into the pan (if it floats back up, it means the oil is finally ready for frying).

Hold a strainer above the pan and pour the besan batter into the strainer.

In a pan over low-medium flame, add sugar, lemon juice, water, and rose water in a pan and let boil for 6 – 8 minutes or until a one-string consistency is reached.

Note: you can check also check for the right consistency by using the back of your spoon to scoop some of the sugar. Your sugar syrup is truly ready if the spoon is coated by the liquid that doesn’t drip.
